Other Rivers: A Chinese Education
China / Memoir
Hessler's account of teaching in a Sichuan high school during the Xi era, capturing how a new generation of Chinese students experience ambition, nationalism, and the pressure of gaokao in a country far changed from his earlier Peace Corps stint. Wang recommends it as perhaps the single best book for anyone newly curious about contemporary China.
